We had the opportunity to meet Laura this summer at the SCBWI conference to discuss her her debut novel, Blind Spot, which is a fantastically suspenseful mystery. Check out the publisher's description: Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farniâs body floated to the surface of Alaskaâs Birch River six months after the night she disappeared. The night Roz Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz canât remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her. But this time itâs her memory that needs piecing togetherâto clear her name . . . to find a murderer. Sounds good, right? It IS! Blind Spot just came out this week from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Find out more in our interview with Laura!
